Bar 石の華
Description
Bar Ishinohana is a basement cocktail bar a minute from Exit C1 of Shibuya Station, opened in 2003 by owner-bartender Shinobu Ishigaki, who won the senior category of the Bacardi Martini Grand Prix in Turin in 2005. The list runs from classic long drinks and stirred and shaken cocktails to a monthly set of original recipes built on Japanese fruit, and there is a separate low-alcohol and non-alcohol list. The bar is closed on Wednesdays, Thursdays and public holidays, and asks guests to be 20 or over. A cover charge of ¥500 per person applies.
